Chapter 1: Repercussions
The wound from a fire can heal quickly but the wound from a harsh tongue can never heal
Tirukkural, ancient Tamil treatise
Idiot!
The word kept echoing in her head as she rolled out the rotis. Idiot!
Was she really an idiot? When Arjun had shouted at her, she was too shocked to react. He had accused her of being possessive, even neurotic before he turned his back to her.
The pain over being called an idiot festered and gnawed at her insides. She tried to calm down. Neither the brisk walk around the neighbourhood nor browsing the Internet for the latest scoop on her favourite movie star had helped.

But Arjun had clammed up with a belligerent look on his face and didn’t answer.
Arjun?
she had persisted.
He had then lost his temper.
Is that what you think happened today? Are you doubting me Khushi?
The conversation went downhill from that moment with Arjun screaming. That’s when he’d flung the word that had been ringing in her ears since. Idiot!
Khushi had tossed
